No rush or anything, but you might want to check your Johnson this
Spring.
No - not that Johnson, your outboard.
~~ sheesh ~~ :)
The last time I had the prop off, I replaced the pin with what I
thought was non-magnetic stainless - apparently not because I just
looked at my HO this afternoon and cotter pin for the prop is rusted
to hell and gone. I replaced both around the same time with the same
type cotter pin.
Just an FYI.

Thanks for the heads up. I had it off in the late fall and it looked fine
but will buy a new one this spring.
Funny...I was planning to buy a spare (concerned about the metal
weakening
after a few straightening & re-bending cycles) but the parts guy said you
could re-use them a number of times & not to worry.

Read the book. Mine says replace when straightened for removal.- Hide
